Small storage hatch for kayak with splash bag

The storage hatch is an important feature of our kayaks allowing you to store items close at hand. It comes in 2 sizes, this small 20cm hatch and our large 26cm hatch.

The storage hatch comes with an inserted splash bag that allows you to keep material in place and not sliding along the inner hull of the kayak. The splash bag is made of plastic woven fibres that will repel water from it. The splash bag is not waterproof and for peace of mind we recommend you place all delicate equipment inside an dry bag.

This hermetically sealed storage hatch measures 20cm in diameter and comes with a locking pin mechanism.

The inner seal of the lid is made of rubber and surrounds the inner lip of the lid. The seal can erode over time by exposure to things like water, salt and sun and we recommend you look after it and replace it from time to time. Our experience tells us that in rare instances where people experience water seepage, misused or broken hatches are often the cause of it.

The storage hatch comes with an external foam tape that stops any unwanted water from filtering in through the outside of the hatch. It is fundamental to place this foam correctly and seal the ring properly when installing a new hatch.

This hatch can be installed on most kayaks that are designed for one of these dimensions.

The installation process is reserved for professionals and we do not recommend you try this at home. Galaxy Kayaks is not responsible for any hatch installed after the purchase of one of our kayaks.

This hatch fits Galaxy Cruz 2013 models and Cruz Tandem 2+1 models.

    Galaxy customer service is 5-star

    “My husband gave me my kayak for my 70th birthday, during the pandemic, and since I live on a tidal tributary of the Thames I can only go out when the tide is suitable, but I have been out almost every day possible since then (nearly 6 years). I love my Kayak so much I keep wearing bits out, and losing screws - this hatch was the latest thing to go, but the team were very helpful in making sure I replaced it with the right item. Thanks!”

    “Easy to order online, items delivered quickly. This is the second order placed, the first being one of their kayaks. Everything I’ve ordered has been really good quality, and delivered quicker than the estimate times given. Great company.”

    Great kayak and fantastic support

    “Kayak was dispatches and delivered quickly. Quality is great. I had a minor issue that I contacted Galaxy Kayaks about. I received reply within 5 minutes and replacement part was sent within just over an hour. Very happy with Galaxy products and even happier about how they treat their customers. Thank you!”

    First Rate Customer Service

    “Ordered a kayak online on a weekend and put a note in the comments about some of the details and availability of other stock. They phoned me on Monday morning. Helped me out and guided me brilliantly. Kayak arrived within a week and has been great. Fully deserved 5 stars for customer service and product.”

    Absolutely brilliant

    “This is simply the best kayak I have owned. It has superb balance and sturdiness coupled with it's compact size which fits into my car easily. I have added the motor mount and a trolling motor which makes kayaking down river then motoring back up a breeze. This has taken me 25 years to find this perfect kayak!!!! Love it!”

    Galaxy Kayaks - HIGHLY recommended!

    “As a 'larger' (119kg) and completely inexperienced kayaker (I have now been out 4 times...) I could not recommend Galaxy Kayaks enough. Free delivery is also (IMHO) absolutely amazing and took (for me) 5 days which is really, really good! I love my new kayak and as an older user this is my new hobby (along with cycling) to keep me going for many years to go - many thanks Galaxy!”

    All round excellent!

    “Great kayak! Sturdy, comfy, easy to handle and includes useful extra touches, including a waterproof (tried and tested in the sea) storage compartment. The wheels are a must, especially for the hill at Cayton Bay (if you know, you know) but it is still light enough for me to slide onto the top of my Peugeot Partner easily on my own. Before buying, I needed to ask a question and was impressed that the live chat was responded to at 21:30 on a Friday. I ordered that night and received it on the Tuesday. Great communication from the couriers. All round, I've had a great experience and love the kayak. Many many thanks to all at Galaxy. Keep up the good work.”

    Great kayak, delighted with the service and delivery

    “After doing quite a bit of research I was beginning to become dismayed at the prospect of getting a kayak delivered to northern Ireland. However having found Galaxy I was delighted with the delivery speed and cost. Not just that but I must say I'm absolutely delighted with the kayak, which is of great quality and travels beautifully. Well done Galaxy Kayaks!”
